OOPSIES! EXPLORING MISTAKES IN MEIOSIS Due Date: Thursday Oct 30, 2014
Individually, or in groups with maximum three members, you are to select one of the
disorders listed below. If you choose to work as a group you are choosing a group
evaluation. You are to create a visual product to show in class demonstrating how the
process of meiosis is modified to give rise to your particular disorder. You will also give
some additional background on your disorder as listed in the rubric below. On the due
date you will set up your presentation for other students to observe and learn from. Other
students will also be peer evaluating your work based on creativity and clarity of
concepts.
Disorders:
Down Syndrome
Turner Syndrome
Edwards Syndrome
Patau Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome
Triple X Syndrome
Williams Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome
TAR Syndrome
Miller-Dieker Syndrome
Ewing’s Sarcoma
Synovial Sarcoma
DiGeorge Syndrome
Cat-eye Syndrome
Warkany Syndrome
Cri-du-chat syndrome
Jacobsen syndrome
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome
You may also choose another chromosomal disorder of your choice that is not listed
above. Please consult with teacher prior to research.
